Well, I wasn't thinking about a built-in color picker, but a built-in 
language syntax for gamma conversion.

Of course having its own built-in color picker would be a neat feature 
(and I do second this idea), but for instance on Unix systems, where 
POV-Ray does not come with an "IDE", a feature built into the SDL to 
perform gamma conversion math would still be required.
